EMDR CONTINUING EDUCATION TRAINING
Healing the Roots of the Trauma Tree: Treating the Adolescent Wound in EMDR Therapy
When trauma occurs during adolescence, it can shape identity, emotional regulation, and relational patterns well into adulthood.
Clinicians will learn how to identify and address adolescent trauma within EMDR therapy using developmentally informed case conceptualization and practical intervention strategies.
This live, intermediate-level continuing education training is designed for clinicians who have completed EMDR Basic Training and want to deepen their work with developmental trauma.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This training is designed for licensed mental health professionals who have completed EMDR Basic Training and want to deepen their clinical work with developmental trauma.
Best fit for clinicians who want to:
Recognize how adolescent trauma shapes adult emotional and relational patterns
Strengthen EMDR case conceptualization through a developmental lens
Apply practical interventions that support regulation, integration, and adaptive processing
This training is not designed for clinicians who have not completed EMDR Basic Training.
COURSE OVERVIEW
Understand how adolescent trauma shapes adult emotional patterns and how to address it within EMDR therapy.
Adolescence is a critical stage for identity formation, emotional regulation, and relational development. When trauma occurs during this period, it can shape long-term patterns of distress that continue into adulthood.
Grounded in the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model, this training introduces the Trauma Tree metaphor as a way to conceptualize how developmental trauma influences beliefs, emotions, and behavior.
Through lecture, clinical examples, and guided discussion, clinicians will gain a clearer framework for recognizing and addressing adolescent trauma within EMDR therapy.
EMDR & Beyond is an EMDRIA-approved provider of continuing education.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
This training equips clinicians with developmentally informed EMDR strategies for recognizing and addressing trauma rooted in adolescence.
Identify how adolescent brain development shapes trauma responses and emotional regulation
Conceptualize adolescent trauma through the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model
Recognize negative cognitions connected to developmental wounds
Use the Trauma Tree framework to map traumatic beliefs and behavioral patterns
Apply resourcing strategies that support regulation and adaptive neural integration
CLINICAL APPLICATION: USE IMMEDIATELY
This training moves beyond theory into practical clinical integration. You will leave with developmentally informed tools you can apply immediately when adolescent trauma emerges in EMDR sessions.

THE SHIFT IN YOUR CLINICAL WORK
When adolescent trauma is accurately recognized and addressed, clinicians can move beyond surface-level symptom treatment and work with the deeper developmental roots of distress.
You will leave better able to:
Recognize adolescent trauma patterns within adult presentations
Conceptualize developmental wounds through an EMDR framework
Identify negative cognitions connected to adolescent experiences
Support regulation and integration when working with developmental trauma
Approach complex trauma cases with greater confidence and attunement
This is not simply about revisiting the past. It is a structured way of understanding how developmental trauma continues shaping the present — and responding with informed, compassionate clinical care.

EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapist | Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist | Specialty Trainer
Dr. Lauren Ogren is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Northern California who specializes in adolescent trauma and developmental experiences that shape adult emotional patterns. Her clinical work focuses on helping clients process trauma that emerges during adolescence, a developmental period that often influences identity, relationships, and emotional regulation well into adulthood.
Dr. Ogren earned her Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology, with a concentration in Marriage and Family Therapy, from the University of San Francisco. She later completed a Doctorate in Human and Organizational Psychology at Touro University. She integrates EMDR therapy and other evidence-based approaches into her work to help clinicians recognize and address the deeper roots of traumatic experience.
In addition to her private practice, Dr. Ogren serves as a counselor at a school for children with dyslexia, bringing extensive experience supporting adolescents in both clinical and educational settings. Her training emphasizes practical tools clinicians can use to understand how adolescent trauma manifests later in life and how EMDR can help address those underlying developmental wounds.
EMDR & Beyond specializes in advanced, trauma-informed continuing education for EMDR clinicians nationwide.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Is this appropriate if I’m newly EMDR-trained?
Yes. If you have completed an EMDRIA-approved EMDR Basic Training, this continuing education training is appropriate. The course focuses on how trauma during adolescence can shape adult emotional patterns and offers practical ways to conceptualize and address those developmental wounds within EMDR therapy.
Who is this training designed for?
This training is designed for licensed mental health professionals who have completed EMDR Basic Training and want to strengthen their ability to recognize and address adolescent trauma within EMDR therapy. It is best suited for clinicians seeking a more developmentally informed approach to case conceptualization and intervention.
Do I receive EMDRIA-approved CE credits?
Yes. EMDR & Beyond is an EMDRIA-approved continuing education provider, and this course offers 6 EMDRIA credits. Licensed mental health professionals who meet attendance requirements will receive continuing education credit consistent with EMDRIA standards.
Will a recording be available?
Yes. Registrants receive 90-day replay access after the live training. Replay access is included for review, but participants must attend the live virtual session and meet completion requirements to receive live-training EMDRIA or CE credit.
Will this conflict with AIP?
No. This training is grounded in the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model that underlies standard EMDR protocol. The Trauma Tree framework helps clinicians identify and conceptualize developmental experiences while maintaining fidelity to EMDR principles.
Is this experiential?
Yes. This training includes lecture, case examples, guided visualization, and dyad practice. Participants will explore strategies for identifying developmental trauma patterns and applying resourcing and conceptualization tools in clinical work.
Is this considered advanced EMDR training?
This is an intermediate-level EMDR course for clinicians who have completed EMDR Basic Training. It builds on foundational EMDR concepts while expanding clinical understanding of how trauma during adolescence can influence adult functioning and treatment planning.
Will this help when clients present with developmental or adolescent trauma?
Yes. The training focuses specifically on how trauma experienced during adolescence can shape adult beliefs, identity, emotional responses, and relationship patterns. Clinicians will learn how to identify these developmental themes and integrate that understanding into EMDR case conceptualization and treatment.
What is the “Trauma Tree” framework?
The Trauma Tree is a clinical metaphor used to help identify how early and adolescent experiences shape present-day symptoms. Rather than focusing only on visible problems, the framework helps clinicians explore deeper developmental roots that influence negative cognitions, emotional responses, and behavioral patterns.
Is this appropriate if my clients struggle with regulation?
Yes. Many clients with adolescent trauma histories experience challenges with emotional regulation, identity development, and relational patterns in adulthood. This training helps clinicians understand how those developmental experiences influence present-day symptoms and how to conceptualize treatment through an EMDR framework.
